ok first things firts....



body work - doesn't look bad, but one has his own taste when it comes to kits and things...just not to my liking...



"running gear" - your tires...are garbage....the rims are nice but you should have gotten something wider in the rear...your not going to be able to hook with 245's in the rear...im running a built 350z with the APS TT and i could barely catch traction till 80 when i was running 245's and your going to be running a t78 turbo from a supra....think about this....doesn't make too much sense...



Engine - solid motor mount...good idea...but also not a good idea unless you have a solid tranny mount and rear diff mount...your gunna be rockin your teeth out of your face after this but its worth it...if you only have the solid motor mounts youll break the tranny housing....



Turbo Induction - T78 = good power....but for a 2nd gen rx7....your setup needs to be reinforced...your gunna have more trouble getting this thing stuck to the ground and your going to have problems with breaking parts from the drivetrain back....your gunna wish you did it before you jumped the gun and got it on the road....your cars gunna be in the shop more after this setup than it is going to be on the road...



Fuel system - im guessing your gunna be running 2 walbro 255's? you were very specific...and your fuel injector choice is very off unless your gunna be running over 1000hp you really dont need 1680cc's.... also with your fuel lines...if you dont get those steel braided fuel lines coated they are going to rub though where ever you run them, i have seem some pretty bad stuff gone with fuel lines and things....



Drivetrain - all i gotta say is build it up now while its still in the shop...your gunna wanna be driving it once the summer hits im sure...



BTW...WTF is with the flames...get your damn car tuned....

also one more thing....those BOVS your running...i would highly recommend running a different BOV, my friend ran those on his EVO and he was leaking boost everywhere...soo bad that when he changed over to the HKS SSQV that he made over 20whp...if i was going to go with any BOV it would be the HKS SSQV....just a suggestion...



BTW whats with the duct tape on that hose in the engine bay in that video of the bov you have?

z33tt;



Everything you learned in nismoland doesnt apply here. Teckics seems to be on the right track.



Im not even gonna debate anything you posted because your info is founded on a different car and engine.

kahren

teknics how much power you looking for anyway?

all he is getting is a bumper, not a whole kit

I dont think the flame video is going to apply anymore considering this is the engine compartment right here:

I put your two posts together so i can eat them in a straight row, believe me son ive done my homework, your piston stuff doesnt apply.



Body work: i despise kits, the reason for tihs kit was larger area for the FMIC as well as rmeoval of the sucky lighting the stock popups provide. THe bumper was changed for function, not form. Thats why i didnt put on sideskirts or rear bumpers, and why i kept the stock wing.



RUnning Gear: Ok I'll buy some 285's...YOU fit them in the rear wheel well of this car. You cant just throw giant tires on everything, the max i could probably fit is 255's. Considering ill be running at least drag radials when its time to unleash it in a straight line...im not exactly worried.



Engine: This is my fault, didnt list the solid trans mounts, as for the rear i dont need solid diff mount there are other, just as viable options ive simply yet to decide.



Turbo: hmm you seem to be going back to the running gear discussion, perhaps i should show you the rx7s running t88 and such that handle them fine? Like i said the turbo will only be unleashed on a track, puttering around town i wont be boosting 20-25psi.



Fuel System: You probably want me to run 850cc secondaries right? Did you know 850s are STOCK on the 3rd gen motors? Considering im aiming for more then double the output with more then double the boost, i have a feeling double the injector is fine. Again shall i point you to the people maxing out there 1300cc injector duty cycles all over this forum? In rotary you need huge injectors, rotaries dont like even coming close to lean, or stoichiometric for that matter.



Drivetrain: I should get bobby in here, one of the guys on Reactive Racing is running 9's...i believe using alcohol, and has the stock drivetrain. Im far from aiming for 9's. THe trans is a fresh rebuild, the clutch and PP most likely will be new as will the flywheel. Im expecting to snap the rear axles but i wanna test them out first. WHen theyre gone in go the 300m chromoly units and most likely a 3.9 rear.



Flames: flames are fun, you do know how to have fun dont you? That **** was done at a time when i was actually trying to blow the stupid motor so Id have a real reason to yank it, instead i pulled it while it was running perfectly to do this project.



BOV: I had an HKS SSQV, and im sorry but i dont want anything in my BOV made out of rubber. at 17psi i shattered the rubber bellow inside my HKS SSQV, now its a ~$300 paperweight. Instead i prefer running a cylinder with a cylinder inside it that simply moves up and down inside when needed. Yea i have to grease them, which is all your friend probably needed to do, but grease is cheaper then a new HKS SSQV. As for "leaks all over the place"...the BOV wouldnt have an effect on anything else, so it sounds like he just doesnt know wha hes doing.



Duct Tape: thats what you gotta do when youre waiting for new dealer parts for a 16 year old car but still need to drive it around.



So back to what i said, I know what im doing, ive done my research. I know what does and what doesnt work. I'll be doing everything, except the porting of the motor and bodywork, myself..with my own 2 little hands. Ive created all my systems myself...i didnt buy some stupid "off the shelf" kit and slap it on letting the manufacturer do all the researching...instead i did al the researching myself.



BTW, i'll gladly throw money on the line in a friendly race sometime when my car is done...my car's practically anorexic compared to yours.

Been aiming for 500hp, but think maybe 550hp is viable.



I need to PM you about doing the porting, you still have time to do it or are you booked?

damn i forgot how much wire crap was still in the bay.

oh and one more thig i just noticed, you said to get my car tuned because of the flames....



that was on a stuck ECU, all i had was exhaust, intake and a t04e.



te cause was an exhaust leak at the turbo combined with a slightly misadjusted TPS. So the car ran the way it was supposed to, i only discovered the flames when i missed a shift one night and i noticed the entire divider on the highway lit up yellow/orange. I continued making flames because we were trying to overrev it to try to make something in the motor fail, we werent successful, except at having fun and making flames.
